STANLEY, THE EXPLORER.
One Report that He has Been shot anA
Another that He WAS Drowned.

LONDON, July 2l.--A dispatch from ~. ThomaS
West Africa, says: The West African Company
has received a report that Henry NJ. Stanley. the
African explorer, has been shot dead by natives

small Farms in the South.

The cutting down Of forests in the
South bv the owners Of saw mills IS
opening up large tracts Of cheap lands,
which are gradually being turned into
farms. The larger portion Of these lands
will produce cotton, corn, fruits and
vegetables. and, where fortified, will
make As GOOD crops as Western lands.
The mill men still hold large tracts from
which the trees have been cut. II would
seem that it would not be bad plan for
them to form syndicate for the purpose
of placing at least a portion Of their
holdings on the market. Many men IN
tho North and West would avail them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded
TO secure homes in the South, where the
climate permits out-of-door work the
whole wear. where crops are certain, and
where the rigors Of bleak Winters may be
escancd. Last wear a well-to do farmer
from Northern Ohio came 70 this section
of Georgia and leased a tract OF land as
an experiment His experience mas been
so satisfactory that he has decided TO sell
his farm in Ohio and spend the remainder
Of his DAYS here He also intends to ny
10 induce "a number Of his neigh6ors IN
Ohio 10 follow his example To the
farmers and mechanics ofthe North ana
West the South must look for the IN
crease of it-white population The IN
skilled immigrant from Europe cannot
compete with the negro IN the lower
Kinds Of labor. aud therefore will not,
for th,. nresept q. least. come South To
The Northern or Western man, however,
who IS looking for cheap lands, and who
has the means to establish himself, the
South offers inducements unequaled by
those Of ANOTHER country in The world.

Cables Of the World.

A contributor writes in the Philadelphia
Call; have chart issued by the hydro
graphic office Of the United States Navy,
in which are shown the submarine cables
of the world, with the seacoast stations
and the principal connecting land lines
The United States, of course. is we'll
ribbed with wires, three lines of which
stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast, or at least practically so. Then
there are two running from the extreme
north to the Gulf, while another skirts
the Pacific Coast. Mexico has a number
of lines, while the West Indies appear to
lack nothing in this respect. Both coasts
of South America as far down as Pata-
gonia have Geographic communication
with the rest Of the world, while running
into Brazil from Lisbon, Portugal, there
Is a pair Of submarine cables. Did you
know there was as many as ten cables
connecting the new and the old worldsl
They don't run directly across, either.
The couple which bring St. Pierre, on
this side, and Brest, France, together
sweep down as far south as the latitude
of New York. OF course YOU understand
that in laying submarine cables the bed
of the ocean is first carefully considered.
Europe is crossed and recrossed. while
from ST. Petersburg clear across to the
Pacific coast extends a lonely line OF
wire Siberia is as bare Of poles as the
average old gentleman's head Is Of hair.
So Is the greater portion of northern and
western Russia, the whole of interior
China and Africa, British America and
Alaska and, of course, Greenland and
Iceland. Australia has several lines of
wire running its length, one of which
comes clear from the north, where the
cable from British India energies from
its watery bed, down to Tasmania.
Suppose, now, q California merchant
wants to telegraph correspondent in
New Zealand. That isn't so far, geo
graphically speaking, but from a tele-
graphic point of view 1t is far in the dis
lance. The California man would send
his message something like this: He
would start it across the continent, where
it would take journey under water, be
flashed through Europe, again under
water in the Mediterranean Sea, through
the Suez Canal, across India, under the
Bay Of Bengal, the Java Sea, a piece Of
the Indian Oceon and finally to the
operator at Palmerston, Australia He
would start it across that continental
island to Sydney, where it would take
another bath, this time in the Pacific
Ocean, and finally it would be delivered
to the man to whom il was addressed.
The message on which Preller's murderer,
Maxwell, was apprehended, took some
thing like this route from St Louis.
You remember he had taken steamer from
California to New Zealand.

Gambling nf MONTE Carlo.

Before play commences. which it does
at / or IL o'clock, according to the sea
son, solemn professions may be seen on
their way to the salon. First come two
attendants in livery, carrying between
them a money chest, and close behind
march the croupiers who are to begin
work, and of whom there arc seven 10
each table. -Four Of these sit facing
each other on either side Of the roulette
board in the centre, and one at each end.
The seventh, the ciq-de-pWtie, as he Is
called. pcrchcs himself on high stool
close behind one of tho pairs Of croupieTs
at the centre, keeps look out allaround,
and is appealed to in case Of any dispute.

expresses III position.
BYh Of the croupiers. the ohe-depdrtje
EXCEPTED, is armed with n long handled
rake, which, as it has so much work to
do, is strengthened Mt the foot by plate
Of brass. The bank notes are placed in
boxes, the money counted out, and the
louis and five-franc pieces arranged in
long rows standing on Their edges, 50
that they look like gold and silver
snakes Each of the four croupiers at
the centre has snakes Of both cOlors 70

bles have nothing to do with raking in
or paving out the money lost or won:
their business is to put stakes on, or rake
winnings of, for those who, unable to
secure seats at the table, are crowding
around outside; to get change for them
as required, and to keep order.
And now IS the tine to begin; the
rake of the croupiers facing each other
at the centre are laid across the table
head to head. their long, thin handles
appearing beyond the elbows of the
men about to WELD them with so much
skill The croupiess at the top and
bottom lay their instruments close IL
front Of them at right angles TO the
length Of the table. which Is long enough
to accommodate about twenty players
beside the croupiers. and eight shorter
rakcs unshod with brass are placed ready
for the use of the players. All Is now

How TO Scare Snakes.

A gentlemen who recently returned
from the western coast of Africa tells
how natives provide against the dangers
of venomous snakes, which abound in
those regions. THE Africans on the
coast, - he said, ''are far more intelligent
than those in the interior Just south Of
the Republic of Liberia there is large
swampy region which extends for hun
dreds of miles into the interior and for
many miles along the coast. Whenever
it is deemed necessary to penetrate this
vast morass, which abounds in snakes, the
natives simply rub the soles of their feet
with garlic and oil. The scent Of the gar
lie is too much for the delicate stomach Of
the reptiles, and they crawl away as fast
as they are able This insures almost alb
solute safety. The boa-constrictor even
hesitates to attacks a man smelling Of
this odoriferous vegetable. Another
method employed by the natives when
they wish to sit to rest is to swish the air
with rods. The peculiar noise of the rod
seems to inspire the serpents with terror,
for they hasten away cut of hearing of the

one OF the most important departments
IN household management is the care of
the linen. 1t is not enough to see that
it is well washed and ironed; it must
be first looked over, broken places mended
and stains removed. After it has come
from the hands of the laundress it
must be put carefully away to secure it
from the moisture Of the atmosphere
which will cause it to wrinkle, or from
insects which may destroy it. 4 Judi
cious mixture Of aromatic leaves or shrubs
cut up and sewn in bags or sprinkled in
the closet or drawer where the linen Is
will keep out most insects. Rosemary,
lavender, thyme, cedar shavings, rose
leaves, powdered sassafras and cassia
may be used separately or together for
this purpose. In all cases it will befound
that linen will be economised by being
examined and where necessary carefully
repaired previous to being put into the
wash. 1t is good plan to have table
linen numbered so that each piece may
have its regular turn in domestic use. If
linen IS scorched-as is frequently the
case in doing it up-repeated applica-
tons of a mixture of vinegar, the Juice
Of an onion, little soap rasped down, a
tablespoonful of filters earth, a little
soda, boiled together and laid on the
scorched place pretty thick and allowing
it to dry on, willremove the scorch unless
the fibre of the texture has been injured
Linen scorches more easily than cotton
goods and laundresses should bear this
in mind.
